Sabetha Belacoros cosplay at Legendary Confusion.

but what’s important is that I cosplayed Sabetha Belacoros. Click the link if you don’t know who I’m talking about. A very kind and patient friend made the dress and the jacket. The hat fucking rocked.

Pics or didn’t happen, you say? feast your eyes on this, baby, because I’m having a shameless egotistical moment.

this is my favorite photo. frankly I think I look stinkin’ adorkable in it. Even though I look like a hobbit.

Redgreenblackblue!

without the props, so you can see the jacket a little better. the trim is some polyester black velvet I had sitting around and was so slippery it had to be sewn on by hand.

Getting ready for Masquerade. Veil was made of window sheers material. it got hot under there after a while!

“Sabetha wore a linen dress and a simple jacket, both of a darkish red that was nearly the color of cinnamon. Her hair and face were concealed beneath a four-cornered hat with hanging gray veils . . . “

Some professional pics taken right before Masquerade.

and a close up. Yikes. I should have put more make up on. I iz a shiny gurl.

The dress didn’t have any pockets. But I knew I needed to carry around some cash, my phone, a program, some chapstick, you know, stuff. So the totebag? the “silks” are only a few inches deep, sewn to a piece of plastic that acted as a false top. That baby is hollow! Engineering WIN.

surprise! it’s hollow!

ok, now that I’ve gotten my egotistical attention whore look-at-me moment out of the way, I’ll get working on a full write up that talks about the panels I went to, all the awesome Doctor Who cosplay, how to build a Dalek, Author D&D, Author AMA, and all the other cool and insanely crazy shit that went down.

Jeez, two crazy weekends in a row. . .. not sure if I’m getting spoiled, or getting into dangerous habits. ;)

some of the books reviewed here were free ARCs supplied by publishers/authors/other groups. Some of the books here I got from the library. the rest I *gasp!* actually paid for. I'll do my best to let you know what's what.
